Creating a Stick man with rectangular sticks
You need to make a single mesh instead of many small overlapping ones.

Start with a cube.


Then press "Tab" to go into edit mode
Then press "Ctrl + Tab" and select "Face"
Right click the top of the cube, press "G" then middle mouse button
then pull up, then right click

I can go on and on, email me at psuheena@yahoo.com
and we can set up a teamviewer so I can show you one on one if you want.
